MIDLAND, Mich. | At least they didn’t cry. On the 12 other occasions that either Moriya or Ariya Jutanugarn has won a LPGA Tour event, the other sister has been a blubbering mess, not even attempting to hold back the tears of joy they pour onto their sibling. But when they win one together as a team, as they did on Saturday with a stellar fourball 59 at the Great Lakes Bay Invitational to finish the week 24-under par, there was nothing. Nary a whimper and not a moist eye among them.
